Best Answer

NO!

Answer:

As with many of the ancient religions, the worship of Zeus and the ancient Roman gods is still practiced by new age religions in today's world. Athens still has an 1,800-year-old Temple of Zeus which is visited by these groups.

Greece's Culture Ministry has declared the central Athens site off-limits, but worshippers defy the decision.

The present leader of the group is Peppa, head of the Athens-based Ellinais, who calls herself a high priestess of the revived faith. Peppa's group, dedicated to reviving worship of the 12 ancient gods, was founded last year and won a court battle for official state recognition of the ancient Greek religion.

Ancient rituals are also reenacted every two years at Olympia, in southern Greece, where the flame lighting ceremony is held for the summer and winter Olympic games. Officially the event is not regarded as a religious ceremony and actresses are used to pose as high priestesses.
